TO PLANT OUTDOORS
Sow seeds directly into well-worked garden soil in full sun once all danger of frost is past. Space seeds 2 to 3 inches apart and cover about 1/4 inch deep. Keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination in 5 to 7 days.
TO START EARLY INDOORS
Sow seeds 1 inch apart in a container of well-drained seed starting mix 4 to 6 weeks before last expected frost date. Cover 1/4 inch deep, keep moist and provide a strong light source until ready to go outside. Transplant once weather warms up after gradually acclimating seedlings to outdoor conditions. Thin or transplant 8 to 10 inches apart when seedlings are large
GROWING NOTES
These compact and cheerful antique marigolds are quick to bloom, carefree and non-fussy. Their profusion of dainty blooms and feathery aromatic foliage are perfect for planters in sunny spots, or edging garden beds. Feed and water regularly especially if planting in containers. Consider a second sowing before midsummer for a long season of appealing old-fashioned flowers.
